Yippee, Christmas is well and truly here at Beak HQ!! We have just taken delivery today of our Christmas Cards, designed for us by the talented chaps at Forty Five Degree Design and Print.

Given that I am perhaps the least artistic bird on the planet, these guys have needed the patience of saints (and some serious artistic vision!) to bring my idea to life. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome, so huge thanks go to Dean and Jay; you are total legends.

I was tempted to send them out today (1st November) as my excitement levels had gone off the Richter scale, but His Nibs talked me down, so you’ll have to wait and see if you’re a lucky recipient of one of the strictly-limited run of 50 cards!
